Summary
Jason and Rosie break down the 2026 Emmy noms, arguing this year's list skews unusually genre-heavy (The Pit, Pluribus, Knight of the Seven Kingdoms) and debate the Stranger Things shutout versus Widows Bay's earned surprise haul, plus a detour into whether Christopher Nolan is overrated as a director. Then: Sony's plan to end PlayStation physical media production by 2028, which they frame as an ownership problem — you're now paying full price for a revocable license, not a game you own. Finally, the Dune 3 trailer: Rosie argues it's leaning into Chani as an anti-Paul figure and turning Paul into someone the audience has to reckon with rather than root for, while she and Jason split on box office predictions ($700–800M vs. a real shot at $1B).
